-Gabe turned his head..he could hear someone lurking around in the bar. Shoving the door from the boiler room open he grabbed a pipe and ran towards the area. It sure didn’t sound like any of the Maid’s footsteps- Who’s here? -He asks out as he ran into the room-
[She shrugs] Might as well wait if waiting’s all you can do. [She takes another bite of cake] Even if you don’t know what you’re waiting for.
Is it the same for you? -he asks now digging into his cake and chomping it down- I mean you jus sit in your chair all day staring at the screen until you like fall asleep or something..or are you plugged into the computer?
Yeah. [She scarfs a bite of cake just so she won’t have to talk, taking her time washing it down with a sip of coffee] I’ve done some stuff and seen some people. It’s been ok.
What do you guys do when ‘m not doing the alternate reality thing? Or dreams or whatever it was. Still haven’t figured out what all this comes from, to be honest.
Well..I spend my time in the boiler room now a days, to be honest This is my first time back here in I think?? a Year? James has been guarding the school, Carrie is off doing whatever she does and..we mostly sit around and wait. I wait for the end of flow to come. I have no clue what they wait for.
I have seen hell.
[Sabi ignores the cake and the sugar; she;s decided to take her coffee black. She is still a bit tense, and eating while wound up sounds like a great way to wind up choking on cake.
She takes a sip of her coffee, then grabs a napkin near her to cough into. She stares at the kaibutsu, unsure, what to say]
… So.
-Gabe just started to slurp his tea away- ..So hows reality doing for you? You get outside at all? make any friends?
-He stuck out his tongue and then quickly pulled it back in, who knows what she’d do, probably try to rip it out.- Well I mean they are. They’re nice to me and my siblings atleast.
Guess I’ll have to take your word for it. [She looks to where the ladies went, waiting for the food]
-After awhile, the maid ‘Julie’ as named by Gabriel, comes walking back with two plate. She puts two rather big slice of chocolate cake down for them both, and then comes Sabitsuki’s coffee and Gabe’s tea. She put a bowl of Sugar next to Sabitsuki’s drink, and on the other side a small glass bottle of cream with a straw poking out of it-
[Gives him a look] I’m not sure how “I’ll have what he’s having” translates to what you just said. [Pause] But, I guess it’s alright.
Nice ladies… [A foggy memory bubbles to the surface, and she grimaces] Sure.
-He stuck out his tongue and then quickly pulled it back in, who knows what she’d do, probably try to rip it out.- Well I mean they are. They’re nice to me and my siblings atleast.
Wasn’t the appearance I was talking about… [She sits down at the bar and waves him over anyway while talking to the maid manning the bar] I’ll have whatever he’s having.
Hey Julie.
-the maid lifted a hand and nods to Sabitsuki, turning her head to Gabe- Ah, Two Chocolate Cakes and Coffee for her, tea for me please.
-The maid gets right on it, turning away and grabbing supplies to create said items and walks away.-
They’re all nice ladies.
Can’t argue with free food. [She walks just a little behind him, and about foot away. Old habits die hard after all] Though I don’t know if I should be getting a bite to eat with a guy who apparently scares everybody.
if you’re worried about the appearance of us you may sit on another bar away from me after you get yours. -He opens the door for her- Here you go.
[She purses her lips at the other. She still doesn’t trust him, but he seems harmless enough for the moment. She unequips her pipe, but doesn’t take his hand, choosing instead to fold her arms.] Lead the way.
-He nods his head understandingly and began to walk with her towards the little bar he used to wander to- I’m not sure if mom is working today, could be one of the other cleaners, but either way They’ll get us free food..Since I scare them …But no no trust me i don’t even mean too! I ask and begin to pull out my coin and they just put it down and push my coins away.So Seems you’re getting it free Sabi.
